Only that, since local paths are not allowed, there's no logical
reason to require the colon. In fact, if you had asked me before I
saw this test case, I probably would have told you that this was how
the code has been behaving for awhile.
- From a human point of view, the colon or @ ($USER@host/path) probably
looks considerably more reasonable, as it is harder to confuse the
CVSROOT with a relative path in other contexts, though I would note
that a colon is no part of the similar URL specs for HTTP or FTP where
a hostname and path are required. Of course, the method is
technically a required part of those specs too.
Personally, in a case like this, I would favor the logical minimum
(host/path), since it does not actually exclude the nominally more
human readable form containing colons or other "odd" symbols.
Cheers,
Derek
